Volvo FL608 Turbo, only approx. 210,000 km, with tail lift, Sysmä

For sale: Volvo FL608 Turbo, originally bought for use by my own company,
because the annual mileage was exceptionally low.
And it was repaired for every inspection at far too much cost....

The reserve is low, but a few keen bidders will surely have to bid...

Interesting additional information by phone...

And since I drove it myself when it was still roadworthy, it does have that priceless feeling.

And when it still works and goes like a little... Volvo?

This is not some worn-out workhorse, but a rare, lightly used old-school Volvo.

The mileage is about 210 500 km, which is very little for a truck of this age.

The inspection history supports the modest use.

The vehicle has been sitting, waiting for the time and enthusiasm to put it back on the road. Now it is the next enthusiast's or Volvo man's turn.

Why is this interesting?

• Really low-mileage example

• Known durability of the Volvo FL series

• Starts easily when the batteries are in good condition

• The brakes are not seized

• The vehicle moves under its own power

• The turbo works and whistles

• Aluminium sides

• Tail lift

• Good tread on the tyres, but they are old

• Started yearly and moved during storage

• You do not come across lightly used FLs like this every day

The vehicle is very original-looking and the cab has remained tidy for its age.
